FAQs

What is Abzorb cushioning?

Abzorb is a proprietary New Balance cushioning technology that combines cushioning and compression resistance to absorb impact. It's designed to provide excellent shock absorption and energy return, enhancing comfort for all-day wear.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

No, the New Balance 740 Trainers are designed for everyday casual wear and light activities. While they offer comfort and support with Abzorb cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I determine the correct size?

These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. It's generally recommended to choose your standard shoe size. For best fit, measure your foot length and compare it to New Balance's official sizing chart, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit with a thumb's width space at the toe.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and to help manage moisture, we recommend wearing athletic socks made from breathable, moisture-wicking materials. This will enhance the trainers' natural breathability from the polyester mesh.

What does '2000s inspired aesthetic' mean?

This refers to a design style that draws inspiration from footwear popular in the early 2000s. It typically involves chunkier silhouettes, distinctive paneling, and often a more pronounced, 'sporty' look compared to minimalist designs.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, try wearing thinner socks initially or allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot. Double-check lacing to ensure it's not too tight.

Shoes make a squeaking noise.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and dusting a little baby powder or cornstarch underneath it. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture; ensure shoes are fully dry after cleaning or exposure to rain.

Material appears dirty or stained easily.

The polyester mesh, while breathable, can show dirt more readily. Clean regularly using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mesh materials may be necessary.

Feet feel hot or sweaty after prolonged wear.

While the polyester mesh offers breathability, individual comfort can vary. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks. You can also try removing the insoles periodically to air them out, or use foot powder to help manage moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your New Balance 740 Trainers is straightforward. Simply unlace them adequately, slip your foot in, and lace them up securely but comfortably. Ensure there's a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are unisex, making them suitable for a wide range of individuals. Their versatile sporty and retro design means they pair well with a variety of casual clothing, including:

  • Jeans and t-shirts
  • Shorts and hoodies
  • Casual dresses or skirts for a streetwear look
  • Athleisure wear

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or stains, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area.
  2. Air Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, as this can damage materials.
  3. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can deform them, degrade the cushioning, and damage the mesh.
  4. Odour Control: If needed, remove insoles to air out and use shoe deodorizers or baking soda to absorb odours.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
